Hey Ron, 3M Heavy Duty clear Shipping Tape; Walmart, CVS, most anywhere. Clean surface first with a solvent like acetone, let dry before applying tape. Works great. If the hole is bigger than 3/4", apply a second piece like a cross. When you remove the tape, the hole will be flush and

Ron, as part of Calypso’s way too long restoration project we have filled over 250 deck holes with different viscosities of epoxy. In short we found most tapes to provide poor sealing of the hole allowing lower viscosity epoxy to drip/ooze out. Early on in our learning process I had lots of

Our 34 halyards are attached to the casting on the deck surrounding the mast. Inside, the casting has two stainless tangs that attach to the mast which serves two purposes: 1) offset the upward pull of the halyards and 2) prevent the deck from springing upward as the mast shrouds are

Bruce – I think you’re on the right track on how the rod is attached to your hull. Ideally, there is a plate that a new rod can easily be attached to, but you may need to grind down and install all new. I’ve never looked at mine to give you a clear answer. There should also be a

Stus-List Re: Broken rod rigging attachment for babystay deck at keel - 37/40+

Bruce, I believe the rod is a connection from the baby stay track to the keel. If your baby stay is disconnected (as mine is), I don’t think there is any force on that rod. I’ve never experienced any pumping and I’ve sailed the Enterprise is all kinds of conditions. I think you can sail

Hello Bruce! I was told the baby stay’s primary function was to mitigate mast pumping in a seaway and/or from harmonics. Secondary function to assist mast bend. I know C skippers who don’t use it. I believe mine has a padeye bolted or screwed into the sump and a turnbuckle to adjust. Not

In benign conditions, I would forgetaboutit! My 36XL had a baby stay which besides being a PITA for tacking was mostly unnecessary for my rig, whose 3 spreaders are not swept aft. For my masthead rig, it’s primary purpose was to reduce/eliminate mast pumping in a seaway since my mast is not a

Ahh... Of course. I had not thought of that. Have any of you had to do this repair, and do you know how the rod is connected to the keel stub? As a bit of background, the 1/4" stainless rod rig material is attached to the underside of the deck with a 1/4" x 1.5" x 3" stainless plate with two

The additional cost of more HP will be small compared to install collateral items. I repowered with a Beta and they are great engines and great people. I assume you will upgrade the alternator. Bigger alternator means HP drag. Ask Beta for advice. Me? At least 30. In my 40, now at 33

Sort of kind of. I have an Atomic 4 and it is rated at 30 HP at *3600* RPM. The only boats getting close to 3600 RPM are either planing hulls or have a reduction gear, which most of them do not. Mine is direct drive and maxes out at about 2400-2500 RPM. It is about a 22-25 HP engine in most

If you want to battle headwinds and seas I would use more than the 20 HP engine. Depending on your budget and space the 25 or 30 would both be good choices. The 34 I used to sail on had a 2 cylinder Yanmar that was 18 HP (I think) and shook the entire boat. It was by no means overpowered. 3

Bruce, If you have turning blocks attached to the deck I would be careful, as the rod counteracts the upward force of the halyards. If they are attached to the mast, I would think you are OK. Joel
